How to use this tool

  1. Enter inside bed length, inside bed width, measured settled depth deficit, and expected loose-volume settling in the displayed units.
  2. Calculate and use each labeled result for garden bed settlement top-up. Compare the result with a measured sample before committing materials.

Try this example

{
  "length": 3,
  "width": 1.2,
  "loss": 4,
  "settle": 15
}

Accuracy and scope

Top-up estimate distinct from filling a new bed; assumes uniform depth deficit and user-estimated volume loss.
